Burlap Fabric of Many Uses

Burlap and jute  arethe fabric of the moment. A fabric, which has been used from decades for various practical purposes, is practically the fabric of today’s times. Yes we are talking about a very versatile fabric…BURLAP.

Burlap is a coarse and loosely woven fabric and is used world wide by artists and craftsmen alike. It is often the preferred fabric in various art studios and craft schools who teach novices and for use by seasoned artists as well.

Burlap is easy to sew , fold, and cut and if you would term it in one word… INNOVATE with. With practically a multitude of options to play around, burlap can be used in the form of burlap favor bags, burlap ribbons, burlap runners and can be used to manufacture almost everything that may come to your mind. The burlap fabric which is available with us is 10oz/sqyd natural fabric and is the preferred choice for many interior and event decorators.

You can use burlap fabric to make the magic of a rustic wedding come true by using burlap table runners, burlap ribbons, or even spell out your innovative wedding invites on burlap wedding invitations. As the bride walks on a burlap aisle runner, let the rustic setting fill her mind with nostalgia and memories, which she would cherish as reminiscences of an important milestone in her life.

Burlap can also be used for interior decoration in the form of burlap curtains, burlap tablecloth or can be used to adorn your bed in the form of burlap bed skirts. I also remember my grandmother’s use of burlap fabric for Christmas decorations and my first gift from Santa came in a burlap Christmas stocking.  

When it comes to burlap, it is not really completely about the fabric; it is also a lot about the emotions and the nostalgia, which comes inherently fabricated with it.

Customers sent in these pictures lately, please keep on sending them in. They are inspiring.

Burlap aisle runners

The Burlap aisle runner was made of the 40 inch wide burlap. Just received this picture looks like summer though. Well better late than never. I guess.they had a long honeymoon.

Burlap aisle runners

Ninety percent of  our rustic wedding customers buy the burlap for table cloths and runners. Very rarely have i heard of them buying it for aisle runner, so I asked them to send me pictures. And here it is. It seems that they just laid the fabric on the ground no underlay or anchoring. looks like it worked just fine. I think they folded it over to give it a semi neat look.

If the ground is hard and not wet, I guess it makes sense. See in the center the fold. Perhaps they ran out of  jute, and then just laid the the new roll over the old roll. and it looks continuous.  I will ask to see what other innovative items they made with the burlap and share with our customers. Please send us photos we appreciate it and will honor your privacy request as in this picture included here.We offer a 5% discount to wedding blogs who give us honorable mention in their posts. Please contact us and  we will adjust the price accordingly.

Being a cost-effective material, nobody should have any qualms about putting the burlap straight onto the ground, even if it will get wet and potentially ruined. Also, the natural look and feel of the burlap seems to mesh quite intuitively with the grass and outdoors. Unlike a fancy red carpet which will seem out of place at an outdoor wedding (not too mention be much more expensive and probably completely ruined afterwards), the burlap will fit in with the theme of the wedding and fit in with the budget too.

Rustic wedding with our burlap photos from the reception

These pictures of a recent rustic wedding and a pictures of the original fabric on the shop floor are being shared with you our readers to show how simple it is to create a rustic environment. at a celebratory function.
First see the original rolls , this customer took elven rolls of about 40 meters each.

I always assumed that the customer would go out and cut and sew the individual table cloths. Look closely at the pictures and you will see that all she did was lay out the 40" fabric, overlaying it in the center and leaving the  natural selvage edges on the side.
As the tables were 48 inches wide our 60 inch burlap would not have worked, should you have a 40 inch or less table you can use our 60 inch wide fabric with no edges at all showing in the middle and keep the outside edges natural.

The center of the table is covered by serving pieces so the edges  that lie on the table are not that obvious.

This event took place in Toronto should you need the contact information I will be glad to share with the reader
